Currently I'm at 32 miles round trip, 5 days a week. I checked the 26-50 box. My girlfriend and I have carpooled to work every day for the last 2 months or so, so my miles/day/person is 16.

I'm a consulting engineer so before two months ago (as far back as May) I was driving to a different location that was ~35 miles each way and my girlfriend was driving the same 8 miles each way everyday in her car. That's brings me down to a m/d/p of 43! yikes.

In May we moved 45 miles closer to our jobs (and bought a house!) before that we had to drive two cars; her trip was ~50 miles one way, and mine was ~80. That was our worst m/d/p average at 130!

Luckily we both had efficient cars for most of those. My girlfriend bought an 02 Civic shortly after starting her commute, while I drove an '88 Nova that did alright (32mpg with a/c), then when we moved I bought a new FIT, and I'm doing pretty well with that (~34-38).
